AAC therapy

Helping AAC users communicate everywhere they go.

AAC includes communication boards, speech-generating devices, apps, gestures, writing, pictures, and other tools that help a person communicate when speech is not enough.

What AAC support includes

Evaluation

Functional communication review, access needs, language goals, and trial planning.

Device implementation

Vocabulary organization, programming support, and practice using the system in daily routines.

Partner training

Family, caregiver, and educator coaching so communication partners know how to model and respond.

School carryover

Strategies for IEP teams, classroom access, and consistency between therapy, home, and school.

Who may benefit

AAC can support nonspeaking and minimally speaking children, autistic clients, people with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, apraxia, aphasia, dysarthria, and anyone who needs another reliable way to communicate.
